My Fiance' and I decided to move the wedding ceremony up and it will be private (a few friends & family members). The Family Dinner & Reception plans remain the same...
My question: how do I tactfully "update" our guests about the changes? I have an idea of the letter I would like to send out. Please advise if this is sufficient...(see below)
[font "Calibri"][size 3]Dear Family & Friends:[/size][/font]

The letter is fine except that it should be addressed to each guest personally, meaning that each guest or couple receives a revised invitation addressed to them by their names. Please also note that all should have been invited to the reception if they were invited to the wedding before your plans changed.
